Nehar Shalom is thrilled to gather as a community for High Holy Day services. Services will take place at Nehar Shalom, 6 Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain and will be livestreamed.

Family Services and Childcare will take place across the Street at The Footlight Club

All are welcome at our services.

Nehar Shalom is committed to making ritual life accessible to all, while also sustaining our congregation. The cost to bring High Holy Day services to our community is $136/per person. While members support these costs through their annual dues, we ask those who are not members to cover the cost of their attendance.

If you are able to meet your basic monthly expenses, please consider fully covering the cost. If you have enough to share with others in our community, please consider giving more so we can continue to make our services accessible to all. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, and no one will be required to justify their need. All our services will also be freely live-streamed for all.
